    • Trivia
      The hesitation Toothless shows during the famous "touch" scene was actually an animation error. However, it looked so perfect that the animators chose to leave it in the film.
    • Goofs
      The Vikings' accent is Scottish, not Scandinavian. However, the Vikings settled large portions of Scotland, including the Inner Hebrides where the fictitious colony of Berk is shown to be located, and this is the movie's way of reminding us of this.
    • Quotes

      Hiccup: [about the Night Fury] I really did hit one.

      Gobber: Sure.

      Hiccup: He never listens!

      Gobber: Well, it runs in the family.

      Hiccup: And when he does, it's always with this... disappointed scowl, like someone skimped on the meat in his sandwich.

      [imitating]

      Hiccup: "Excuse me, barmaid! I'm afraid you brought me the wrong offspring! I ordered an extra-large boy with beefy arms, extra guts and glory on the side. This here, this is a talking fish-bone!"

      Gobber: Now, you're thinkin' about this all wrong. It's not so much what you *look* like, it's what's *inside* that he can't stand.

      [pause]

      Hiccup: [sarcastic] Thank you for summing that up.

      Gobber: Look the point is, stop trying so hard to be something you're not!

      Hiccup: I just wanna be one of you guys!

    Hiccup a young Viking befriends Toothless, a young dragon.
    Hiccup a young Viking befriends Toothless, a young dragon. This is the best movie I've seen since the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Virtually everything about it is wonderful. Rarely have I been so drawn in to an animated movie. The 3D aspects are thrilling and the movie has a great story, amazing animation, non stop action and a positive and constructive message. It made me want to go out and get a pet dragon. This movie is perfect for people of all ages. Now I know what a feel good movie is. This movie will make everyone feel good. Congratulations to all who contributed to this amazing film. It will make toy dragons a popular gift item. Hope to see it again and again. 3D at it's best.
